Cleaning between racking different wines

[richmke]

I have a bunch of carboys bulk aging, and like to rack a few at a time. It save setup/cleanup time. I use the AIO (big fan).

Right now, I rinse and sanitize the tubing between wines (all reds). Is there any downside to skipping the rinse, and just go from carboy to carboy (obviously I clean and sanitize the receiving carboy)?

I usually go batch to batch, with no cleaning in between, only sanitizing the receiving vessels. But @barbiek makes a very valid point.
