Nov 25 (Reuters) - European shares rose on Thursday as a rebound in hard-hit technology stocks and a surge in French spirits maker Remy Cointreau helped offset worries about soaring coronavirus cases across the continent.

Remy Cointreau RCOP.PA jumped 9.9% to a record high after it raised full-year profit outlook as strong demand for its premium cognac drove a stronger-than-expected operating profit in the first half.

Technology stocks .SX8P rose 0.9%, their first session of gains in six days, after rising bond yields hit the high-growth sector earlier this week.

Germany's DAX .GDAXI rose 0.4%, also coming off a three-week low even though data showed a weaker-than-expected German economic expansion in the third quarter and tepid consumer sentiment ahead of Christmas shopping season.
