In the real print world that depends on the context. If you're discussing a double-page spread, gutters are the whitespaces next to the spine of the book (to the right of all the text on a verso in LTR text, or to the left of all the text on a recto). The vertical whitespace between columns on a page are alleys.
But if you're just looking at a single page, then the vertical whitespace between columns is usually called a gutter.

Gutter Versus Alley
In some cases, designers will use the terms 'gutter' and 'alley' interchangeably depending on the project. Both have separate meanings. Both are strips of white-space, the main difference is in size and location in regards to the page layout. An alley is the space between columns of text on one page, like in a newspaper, that is used in page layout. The gutter is the white-space between the two pages in the middle spine of the publication.
