Sauces and reduction

I just made a port wine sauce to be plated with pan seared foie gras (Please don't flame me for loving foie!) The recipe I used had one deglaze the pan in which some sugar was caramalized with port wine, reduce by half, add red wine and reduce by half, and lastly add veal stock and reduce by half.  Why can't you just add all the liquid at once and reduce to sauce consistency?
