Message in a bottle uses a combination of cool tricks and the Live Paint feature as well as a few nifty tips with the appearance panel. 
Picture

Picture
Start the bottle with a rectangle. 
Picture
Select the top 2 points with the Direct Selection Tool and pul them in to round the top. 
Picture
Hover over the Corner Widget Target and OPTION + CLICK on it to cycle through the corner styles to get to the flat corners. 

Picture
Create another rectangle on the top portion of the original rectangle for the neck of the bottle. Select both shapes. 
Picture
Use the Pathifinder Unite Tool to add both of the shapes together. 
Picture
Select the 4 middle points with the Direct Selection Tool and pull them in to round the edges. 

Picture
This will give the bottle a rounded look. 
Picture
Add a rectangle for the neck of the bottle. 
Picture
Draw a rectangle for the cork. 

Picture
Use the Free Transform tool, in perspective mode to pull the lower 2 handles into the middle to taper the shape. 
Picture
This will create the cork. 
Picture
Place the cork on the bottle. 

Picture
To create the paper scroll, go HERE on my blog to see how it's done. This uses the Spiral Tool and Live Paint to create the rolled paper look.
Picture
Fill the bottle with a lighter color, place the scroll on the bottle and set the opacity of the scroll to 50% to make it look like it is in the bottle.
Picture
Rotate the bottle and contents 45°. Draw a line for the water waves. 

Picture
Apply a Zig Zag effect under Effect>Distort & Transform. 
Picture
This will create a wave look. Outline the path under Object>Path>Outline Stroke.  
Picture
Add a white stroke around the wave shape. Set the stroke to the outside under the Stroke Panel. 

Picture
Setting the stroke to the outside will add to the stroke beyond the edge of the wave and not interfere with the wave itself. 
Picture
Open the Appearance Panel under the Window Menu and open the Stroke section. Set the Opacity of the stroke to 65%. This will only make the stroke transparent, not the fill. 
Picture
Duplicate the waves and you have a message in a bottle, floating in the waves.
