All three mean the same thing. The bottle, which was at one time not opened, is now open. Sometime between then and now, someone or some thing opened it. If I am working in a bar, and I see three bottles of wine on a counter, I might ask my colleague, "which of these bottles is opened?", though I'd probably say "which one is open?"
