Can someone explain why I should use taxonomies on my site? I dont really understand the benefits of it. I'm new on wordpress and Ive read the codex.. Dont feel the need to over do your answer just a few lines so I can get a small understanding.
Thank you
A small example: I build websites for wineries. Some want to have navigation by wine style, e.g. a list of links to products that are "red", "white", "sparkling", "fortified", etc. I could use tags for that, but by creating a custom taxonomy I'm able to give the URLs a slug "style" instead of "tag", hence "example.com/style/red" and "example.com/style/white".
