In the case of a potion vial, the potion is magical but the vial that contains it is not (DMG p.229, "A potion is a magic liquid.." and, by the way, gives stats for a vial). If the spellcaster targets one potion vial, the person carrying it gets a Will save. If failed, the vial is sundered, the potion spills and is most likely wasted, but the other potion vials are not affected. If the spellcaster targets the bandolier and the wearer fails a Will save, it is sundered, breaks and falls to the floor, which is generally not sufficient to do any damage to the vials (DMG, p.303), and the vials are not otherwise affected.As you may have gathered, I interpret "sunder" to mean that the object is destroyed as if it had been reduced to 0 hit points by a sunder attack.edit: There was a long discussion earlier about the exact meaning of "destroyed". For present purposes, the item is ruined beyond repair and rendered unable to perform its function.</blockquote>
