If you have the valve then it makes it easier as you can turn it off and on between bottles but if you've just got a piece of pipe then you can stop it with your thumb and risk losing the prime and spilling some wine.
Also gives you a chance to sample it as I usually suck a bit hard at first (can't be helped one has to do it!) ! Can get a bit messy as well with spillages
