In my french text back when I took french 101 at college, there was a series of drawings to indicate the words/phrases for "a little," "a lot," "more" etc. They showed a SYT sitting at a cafe table, drinking wine. At first she had a little in her glass and the caption said, "un petit peu du vin." Then she got more and looked a little happier and it said "plus de vin." And so forth, with varying amounts of wine and increasing happiness, until she was under the table and it said "too much wine."
