Usually means glue or paste, but evidently not in this context, where it is applied to caseine and PVPP as used in wine-making: e.g. "la caséine et la PVPP sont les colles les plus performantes contre le brunissement des blancs et des rosés." Possibly "fining agent", though the equivalence (if any) is not obvious?

"Isinglass (also called fish glue) is made from the bladder of the sturgeon fish. Like the other agents, this works like a magnet, attracting the impurities and carrying them to the bottom of the barrel or tank, producing a clean wine. Isinglass is found in many German white wines."
